A few Red Sox notes from Seattle

SEATTLE — Good morning from Pioneer Square, where this is being written on a iPad while drinking some kind of juice that’s supposed to be really good for you.

A young woman with blue hair just handed me a brochure for the “Seattle Ghost and Vampire Tour.” I’m all set, thanks.

As to the notes:

• The Pirates have claimed INF/OF Oscar Tejeda on waivers. He was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster when the Red Sox obtained Zach Stewart and Brent Lillibridge from the White Sox.

Tejeda looked loaded with promise a few springs ago. But like a lot of players, he faltered once he got to Double A.
